I'm thinking about adding the srvdir[1] global useflag.

Scream if I miss some discussion preventing it.

(fenice[2] will use it, that's why I'm adding it)

Hi all,
not a dev, but please bear with me :-)


From [1] above:

GLEP:   20

It is 2006, any updates on this GELP?

Just a quick look turned out a 404 error on the FHS2.3 link. ( 
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ ?)

I am not very read in LSB, but just saw there is a 3.x version...
What about LSB 3.x? Is it the same recomendation?

Although I run quite a bunch of services on a few boxes, I don't see this whole 
idea (/srv).
I read the GLEP, I read [FHS#srv] but still. And it says:
    "The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified
     as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done."

So how does Gentoo implement it?

[FHS#svg]       
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM

And as the GLEP talks about webapps, what will an upgrade of a webapp (say 
Bugzilla) to/from srv?
I feel it breaking and user screaming.


that's an useflag you may use it or not, webapps use webapp-config that already handles /srv w/out any problem, having the base webroot using srvdir would be nice so you spare a couple of mv but that's all...
